Our first journey on an overnight bus got us to Agnes Water and the Town on 1770 at around 9am - it's 11th December now.Agnes Water and 1770 are not big so there isn't much to do here but we needed a stop between Airlie Beach and Brisbane and Laura from our Cambodia trip had recommended this place for a couple of tours so we decided to stay here. The Town of 1770 has a pretty interesting history, as it was here, on the 24th May 1770 that the then Lieutenant James...

After an 11 hour bus journey we arrived in Airlie Beach where we had arranged to do a 2 ½ day and 2 night cruise around the Whitsunday Islands. Gemma and James who we met in Kho Samui recommended a boat called Wings 2 - a catamaran which was primarily a water activities boat and a social boat which meant not nuts but not dead quiet/boring like the relaxed boats we had heard about where everyone goes to bed at 9pm - perfect! We booked into our hostel which was mo...

We have arrived in Australia!! First stop is Cairns in the North East after a stinker of a flight.

Luckily our hostel offered a free pick up servi...

It is 28th November and we are en route to Singapore and are both really excited as we have heard so many good things about it!

The bus driver was an absolute a******* making us bring our big rucksacks on board because he couldn't be bothered opening the luggage storage under the bus but luckily the bus was quiet so our ...

After 2 hours on the bus we arrived at Melaka Sentral bus station and jumped in a taxi to our hostel. Our taxi driver was a bit of a nutter, he spent the whole time on the phone having a huge argument it seemed! He would ring someone, shout down the phone at them, then hang up, and then someone would ring him, they'd shout for a while and then it would happen all over again! We were relieved when we arrived at our hostel, needed some peace and quiet after that! O...
